City WI

In December 2025, the National Federation of WIs announced that after 40 years of inclusion, transgender women would be excluded from being members of the WI (effective April 2026.) We are disappointed and saddened that the WI membership were not consulted in the making of this decision.

All Officers in the Nottingham City WI committee and the majority of our members will not be renewing their membership of the WI as a direct result of this change in policy and we are incredibly sad to announce that Nottingham City WI will be suspending its activities from April 2026.

We are so very grateful to the founders of Nottingham City WI for bringing this wonderful group together, to all of the fabulous members and everyone who has contributed to the fascinating, moving, delicious and hilarious gatherings we have enjoyed over the past 16 happy years of friendship - thank you.

We are proud to stand as allies of the LGBTQIA+ community 💜💚🤍

At tonight's neeting, our very own word smith, Ann, who works for Inspire, the organisation that runs the Libraries in Nottinghamshire will be hosting a poetry workshop. We will be putting our writing skills to the test to come up with a City WI poem that best describes our group and what we love about it! 🤗

Big love to all the wonderful, inspirational, incredible women of the mighty on this, our 110th anniversary 💜

There has never been a more necessary time for women to hold hands, lift one another up and show that love and compassion are our greatest human strength 💚
